Half expected Ron to sit Guillorme with how pissy he was

I was hoping for then entire young guys lineup tonight but Adell gets the night off.

Go Angels, win one of three!

Yeah, that's weak sauce.

You know, meant to say this earlier, but I wonder if Ron’s pissiness re: Guillorme was less about the bunt and more about what I saw as some pretty half-assed SS defense from him last night. 

At least twice Paris made some admittedly pretty awful transfers, but Guillorme seemed to barely try. Wonder if Ron was more fed up with that by the time the bunt attempt happened.

No halo hits HR tonight

No Guillorme!  Ha.

Good, Guillorme isn’t in the long-term plans. I have super low expectations of Paris but would be amazing if he just took this opportunity and ran with it. 

I imagine Rengifo could send Guillorme to the waiver wire once he’s back, though Goodrum has been bad too. Maybe when Drury or Stefanic can come back. Sure wish we had Livan Soto still.

I think Guillorme or Tucker goes when Rengifo is back, and then when Sano is back (potentially by this weekend), Goodrum gets the axe.  Whichever of Adrianza, Stefanic, or Drury comes back first, then whoever is left out of Tucker, Guillorme, and Goodrum is gone.

There are so many shitty infielders currently I forgot about Tucker. I will say though that out of any of this dredge is worth the tiniest look it could be Tucker though, on account of his age and prospect pedigree.

There's just no room for him, though, once the injured guys come back.  My guess is that the team would still prefer to play Stefanic over him, for example.

No reason for Adell to sit with Moniak in the lineup. 

I'd let Adell lead-off to be honest.

GO ANGELS!!!!

AVOID ANOTHER SWEEP!!!!

The Angels will be the only last-place team on the field tonight, the Redbirds having climbed over Cincy for 4th in the NL Central. 

Only the ChiSox and Marlins have won fewer games than the Angels after 43 games.

119 games to play until Angels offseason.

[eligrba4ever]

I don't understand why so many obsess about which marginal player bats in what spot or sits on the bench. We are cheering for a sow's ear that will never be a silk purse.

"itty bitty increments" LOL

Well, on a 5-10 year horizon I suppose that's a good thing.

Armed Forces Weekend on a Wednesday.
